For some reason I just don't like the idea of Gyllenhaal as the Joker. I personally think he'd be a more exciting choice as someone like the Ventriloquist.
perfect casting
I feel like having the Joker actor as a stand-in for the first movie feels much more likely
If it’s a stand in though, the only thing they can really do is the back of a dude’s head with green hair.If Joker even has a cameo, I can picture a laugh, cackle, and quote from the darkness and that’s it. We don’t even need to see his face.
Maybe just some green hair and some white skin.

I always remember his stuttering, childlike cadence in Donnie Darko. I think that kind of style would be well suited to an anxious and emotionally stunted character like Arnold Wesker. The other half is that it would simply be interesting and more of a challenge for Gyllenhaal than the Joker.I would love to know what inspires that thought.
He seems like a likely choice. I still kinda have a hard time physically seeing it though.
It's hard to explain. His facial features are just very..."big". He almost always looks very heavyset to me.I have to wonder what you're looking for in a Joker where you can see Caleb Landry Jones, but not Gyllenhaal.

If Gyllenhaal was cast as Joker, then I'd get behind it pretty quickly.

If Reeves has his actor, then I would DIE for a laugh tease like that. Imagine hearing that and trying to figure out who the actor is for 3 years? Lmao. Supreme troll move.
Harvey Dent material.Jake Gyllenhaal’s role/performance in Okja in Netflix is what first showed me he could deliver a great Joker. Nightcrawler another good example.
Has anyone yet suggested Taron Egerton? Might be an interesting choice
I'm a very indecisive person. Cut me some slack lolAre you sure your car would have enough gas to make that journey?
I may or may not use his cut in this movie as a reference for barbersIf Gyllenhaal is cast then he's gotta bring back that Prisoners haircut imo
I'm really curious what that original conception of the film looked like because I do suspect the whole Jake thing, which from Jake's reaction to being asked about it in an interview I entirely believe, was rooted in being a loose progression of Batfleck. Maybe they weren't originally totally keen on Reeves straight up rebooting or maybe the importance of Bruce's youth didn't become apparent 'til further along in the writing process?With that initial Collider report stating Reeves was in heavy talks with Jake, I'd always thought that was for an earlier iteration of the film where it covered Batman's mature years. Sort of as a smooth transition from Batfleck even though it's technically its own thing. Looking back, it doesn't sound as plausible. This Y2 angle seems so laser focused and feels like the only path Matt wanted to take.
I can absolutely buy into Matt wanting to "lock down" a major part like Joker early on. Especially with actors who have several months/years of projects already underway, making scheduling difficult. This was about a year before Rob was even in the picture, but Joker is such a special role it's not unfathomable it could have been cast first. I don't imagine it to be the type which requires the normal chemistry test anyway.
YES!!If Gyllenhaal is cast then he's gotta bring back that Prisoners haircut imo
